Wondering about a few rune magic spells

Last Hero would be hilarious if it went off after 100 turns of soaking up damage . It's not really needed though since you can already maintain Stone Skin and Divine Armor. Using Avenging Angel is just for showing off though, attack buffs that can easily be pushed to last forever and not require constant Timeless to maintain are better.

Oh really? I have theorized muchly about Timeless, but never used it. I thought it added a buff, and while the buff was in effect, nothing else ticked down.

If it just adds to the duration. Hmm. Still good, though not quite as strong as I surmised.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it's a bug or a translation issue. But for things other than Avenging/Last/Mana it's better because you can cast it multiple times to stack it. 1 cast is enough to make any of them last longer than most battles I fight take, and 2 casts should be enough for anything.

I haven't had the chance to use that spell yet. But if it's not a buff, then it only extends the duration of buffs already present on the unit, right?. Not of those applied after the cast of Timeless.
